I have been trying to resurrect my 69 soft top frame. Pretty beat up and very worn latch mechanisms. Has anyone used different latches that are secure? The front sheet metal was damaged and I have reworked it so alignment is good but not great. Any help is appreciated.Convertible top latch upgrade?

Convertible top latch upgrade?
Hello 
I have been trying to resurrect my 69 soft top frame. Pretty beat up and very worn latch mechanisms. Has anyone used different latches that are secure? The front sheet metal was damaged and I have reworked it so alignment is good but not great. Any help is appreciated.

I had brand new cast 304 stainless latches made. It is a 6 piece set with the three receivers and 3 latches. They are correct and will work with your stock visors and rear view mirror. You can find them here on my site:http://sincitydatsuns.com/store/p124/Da ... tches.html
